Six Things, Six Minutes of Your Lives You Can Never Recover

Well.  I have been tagged for a meme by my dear friend Alias Liz Jones.  It's been a while since I've done one, so let's have a look-see, hmmm?

1.  What is your favorite quotable line from a movie?

I'll give you three, and see if anyone out there can name the movies.  Hint: they're all OLD movies.

"Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke."
"E-MAIR-GENCY! E-MAIR-GENCY! EVERYONE TO GET FROM STREET!"
"Captain, it is I, Ensign Pulver, and I just threw your stinkin' palm tree overboard! Now what's all this crud about no movie tonight?"

2.  Who is the most famous person that you've talked to?

Well, I talk to Moriss Taylor on the phone occasionally for work.  He tells me bad jokes, he refers to my boss Scott as "Gordy," for some reason, and he's the nicest man in (local) show business.  And now that James Brown has passed on, Moriss is the New Hardest-Working Man In Show Business.

3.  How many bags/boxes of potato or corn chips are consumed in your house per month?

Maybe three or four a year.  We're not too good at chips.  We're GREAT at salted nuts, though!  Does this help you?

4.  What foreign food dish do you prepare from scratch and serve?

Wow, this question presumes a LOT.  I do make a lot from scratch, but I can't think of anything foreign.  Tell you what: next time I make meat loaf I'll put Tijuana Taxi and Kung Fu Fighting on iTunes, and we'll call it good.  Okay?

5.  What is your favorite section at the super market?

As always, the horn section.

6.  What was your high school team's mascot and what were your school colors?

We do things a little differently here in California.  We were the Spotted Owls for a while, but we kept getting our butts kicked in sports, and sometimes fans of the opposing team brought guns to the games, so we changed the name to the Meadow Foam.  It made for some interesting cheers in the fourth quarter:

"Hey Meadow Foam!  Go, fight, win!  Or just lie there and someone will come build a fence around you!"

Oh, and we were blue and white.

I want to see the following people do this meme (if you want to; if not, I'll have to come to your houses and hunt you down):

[Alias Liz Jones]

I'm going to sing Kung Fu Fighting tonight as I prepare my meal. I love your school mascot.
Have you ever belted out Everybody Wayne Chung tonight while opening a fortune cookie?
Go Meadow Foam!
Love

And to wrap it all up ...

TRAC! TRAC!

[Bob Cleveland]

And, yes, I did talk to Liberace for a few minutes one time. August 1974. Casino, Las Vegas Hilton. Sitting on a stool playing the slots. Had him autograph one of my business cards.

(I was too cheap to actually BUY my wife a souvenir, so....)

DING DING DING DING! Another correct answer. Yes, Ensign Pulver was definitely in "Mr. Roberts," one of my favorite movies of all time. And the scotch scene is a classic (but my favorite part is a young Martin Milner as a southern MP explaining where he found all of the drunken sailors on shore leave).

You win a lot of books and a small loveseat, Bob, telepathically arriving as we speak, and I'm hoping you remember THAT reference as well. :)

[Bob Cleveland]

Ensign Pulver was, of course, speaking in Mister Roberts. (Anyone remember the famous "Scotch Scene"?)

Others I know not.

[Suburban Kamikaze]

THE Moriss Taylor? From the Moriss Taylor TV and Radio Shows? Oh my God.

[Big Hair Envy]

I cheated and Googled the movie quotes. Just because I HAD to know!!

We are also salted nut people. Not really sure what that means.

[foolery]

DING DING DING! Yes, Karen, "The Blues Brothers" is an OLD movie (and one of my favorites). Nice job spotting that one! You win: a button with an anchor on it and a Cup O' Noodles, shrimp flavor. I am sending them to you telepathically.

[Karen]

The Blues Brothers is an OLD movie? Yikes.

[Marcy Massura-The Glamorous Life]

Only YOU can make a meme entertaining. Funny. I am so not surprised that your house is full of NUTS (and not chips)

[KD @ A Bit Squirrelly]

I still have not doen my meme that Auds tagged me (and Liz) with. I like yours. I will do mine tomorrow. Promise!

[Chesapeake Bay Woman]

I actually prefer the keyboard section myself, as long as it is smack dab next to the potato chip aisle so I can eat and play simultaneously. Makes for a greasy keyboard, though.

[Meg]

Foolery, I'm all over this - once I get settled in after relocating my family for a week of oceanside fun & frolic.

Horn section. Heh.I prefer the woodwinds myself. Because I was one.

[Raz]

You do not even know how excited I am by this...
